Pecha Kucha Cleveland Vol. XII - 2011.04.08

Friday, April 8th, 2011
Higbee's 10th Floor
230 West Prospect Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44113
8.20pm

Join us for PechaKucha Night Cleveland - Volume 12 at the top of the Higbee's Building; the 10-story eastern wing of the Terminal Tower complex that sits right on Public Square. On Friday, April 8th, 2011, at 8:20pm, with your attendance, we will bringing back Higbee's for a night of PechaKucha as we head to the 10th floor to activate the currently vacant auditorium space. To our knowledge, this space has only been used 2 times since the closing of Higbee's, and this will be the first it is open to the public!

To get into the space you MUST enter off Prospect Avenue in entrance a few doors east (toward Ontario, away from Warehouse District) of the entrance to Tower 230 Bar and Grille. Entrance will have PechaKucha Night poster on it!

For Volume 12 we've got a few artists, an architect, a fashion and technology designer, an urban designer, a motorcycle designer, a group of friends telling the story of how shots have shaped their lives, a photographer, a sculptor and a graphic designer. These 10-12 creatives will present their work, ideas, and obsessions in a series of 400 second long presentations; each person showing 20 images of their work that have been pre-timed to 20 seconds per image.

As many remember, the Volume 11 audience maxed out the House of Blues Cambridge Room and had to turn people away because of room capacity issues. For Volume 12, we've doubled our capacity limit by the venue selection, but HIGHLY recommend you show up early so that you do not get left out in the cold!:)

The doors and the bars open at 7:00pm and the presentations, as always, begin at 8:20pm.

DONT FORGET TO INVITE FRIENDS!:) If you are interested in presenting at a future PechaKucha Night, have a venue idea, or just questions in general, please contact us at pkncleveland@gmail.com.
See ya on the 8th!!!

Cheers,
